[@brianruperti]

Hey everyone here is a link to the brochure in case you’re in the market! www.toyota.com/content/dam/toyota/brochures/pdf/2021/rav4_ebrochure.pdf

[@davidnicol9596]

This is the best video I have ever seen of someone describing the features of a vehicle, bar none. I am so impressed by your ability to make sense where so many others leave you scratching your head, wondering what they mean. Well done.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you so much! This compliment made my night 🙏🏼

[@KevinSandy2]

Agreed. Best feature use review i have ever seen.

[@brianruperti]

@@KevinSandy2 thank you so much!

[@jenpen7875]

This was awesome! I've watched a ton of Rav4 videos and I love how thoroughly you get into every button and what it does. I appreciate it. Looking forward to your 2022Rav4 hybrid video!

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for watching!! Will do as soon as we get them!

[@landshass2849]

I like your videos, you sound like a friend/normal guy, not like a sales person or an actor.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Great tutorial on the RAV4 Hybrid Limited. Much easier than navigating through all the booklets it comes with. Also love the fact I can learn all about the car from my computer, not have to climb into a cold car in the garage to learn.

[@brianruperti]

So glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching!

[@davecastoldi2701]

I have this 2021 Toyota Rav4 Limited Hybrid in Blizzard Pearl and love it! They missed a few things on the limited trim: the window switches and other switches do not all light up, the passenger seat is not power and the mirrors should fold in when the auto is locked. Other than that, I could not be happier with my Rav4. A great ride too! Great tutorial and overview!!

[@brianruperti]

Nice ride! And I agree with you. For a limited, those couple extra features would’ve solidified the car. Thanks for watching!

[@sharmainegullunan1151]

This is very informative in so many ways for people who are fairly new to all of this technology. I have watched this many times. Thank you!

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@dnai2337]

Great video. And you always make comments that give a chuckle while we're learning. 🤩

[@brianruperti]

Thanks 😎

[@toshannon]

Hi Brian loved the video. You touched on every part of the car which was very helpful. We got our Rave4 limited a few months ago. The only thing I don’t like about it is it is so hard for me and my wife to put it in Reverse. We both have Arthritis in our hands. We are trying to figure a way that makes it easier but so far no luck. After its in reverse the other gears are easy to shift to.

[@brianruperti]

Hello and thanks for the kind words! The shifter was designed for an overhand grip with the first 2 fingers or middle 2 fingers to be used to activate the shift lever. Please try that method and let me know how it works!

[@susanmeredith4957]

Watching again so I know what I’m doing! Finally picking up my Rav this week. So excited. Ordered in August 🇨🇦 I ordered Blizzard Pearl but told them I’m open with colour so a Ruby Flare came in with my name on it! Yay

[@brianruperti]

Sweet! Congrats! Patience always wins. And ruby red flare Pearl is so pretty. It has so much LIFE to it! I hope you enjoy it for a long time.

[@susanmeredith4957]

@@brianruperti thanks so much. I must have changed my colour 3x but told dealership I was open to colour! Red came in first! I got the phone call at the grocery store check out and almost dropped my bag! Thanks for the informative videos.

[@brianruperti]

@@susanmeredith4957 what a story! Stay tuned for more useful content

[@susanmeredith4957]

Can you go into more detail on adjustments to the rear view mirror camera display, (I don’t need garage opener set up). Ty. Also I got the coating. I understand it’s ceramic-like. But not ceramic. Dealership says it lasts 10yrs. Is there any yearly upkeep booster I should be doing at home?

[@brianruperti]

I will gladly in my next video and I would consult the dealer that installed it about any protocol for the coating

[@Hawk0827]

Great review sir 👍🏽. You speak well and good flow to point out all the features!

[@brianruperti]

Thanks so much for watching!

Lovin' this Awesome Ruby Red Flair Pearl ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Brian👍🤗 Great Review !!!

[@brianruperti]

Thanks so much 🙏🏼

[@susanmeredith4957]

Ordered Blueprint colour in late August, looking forward to getting it, whenever it comes in. Maybe January? Do love that red though!

[@brianruperti]

Nice congrats!

[@Anthony-ko3ep]

First class, professionally done.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@johnmartin7158]

Tnx a lot for the thorough detailed video of the RAV4 and controls. If you were to ever make a real extensive long video of all the workings of the dials and infotainment cockpit, I for one would sure watch. Have not had a car nor for a year. 2003 RAV4 died a gearbox. So I am a dinosaur at this technology. Like I said, I shall order my RAV 4 in January. Regards NZ

[@brianruperti]

I have your back this winter!!

[@dustinboudrero2383]

Does anyone know if it's possible to switch out the brown accented shelves and accents?

[@RebirthBeyond]

Very informative and I really got a sense of the interior. Thank you.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for watching. Please consider sharing my channel 🙏🏼

[@dbsantanapr]

I like turnkeys! 😅 the infotainment screen discussion was helpful. I don’t like how ipad style screens look…when I test drove a Rav4 I did see that it wasn’t as much of an obstruction as I’d imagined. I am short (5’1”) so it wasn’t quite as unobtrusive for me as for you. However, maybe I simply needed to better adjust my seating position. Your demo encouraged me to give it another try. Thanks!

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for the feedback I’m so glad I could help!

[@johnmartin7158]

Hi ! My wife is slightly under 5ft and she test drove the 2021 RAV4, so I am thinking you will be more than 👍 ok. Regards. NZ

[@SB-uq6zl]

Do you know when the 2022’s are coming out? Do you know of any changes with the exact same vehicle in the video?

[@brianruperti]

Depends on the store due to the chip shortage. We are still manufacturing 2021s. No changes that I’ve been made aware of. Not yet.

[@vickieann1668]

Brian, what’s the difference between the RAV 4 Hybrid Limited and XSE?

[@brianruperti]

[@vickieann1668]

Thanks for the helpful information, Brian. I just bought a 2022 RAV4 Hybrid XSE this afternoon! I appreciate the videos.

[@brianruperti]

@@vickieann1668 congrats!

[@william6765]

I like the silver or chrome finish much better than glossy black wheels.

[@brianruperti]

Interesting!

[@RetirementGoals1]

I have a deposit down for a RAV4 Hybrid XLE, I am disappointed they deleted the fog lights for the 2022 model year. Are their any other items removed? I’m guessing they did it to push people to the Limited.

[@brianruperti]

The LED integrated fog lights begin at the XLE premium and XLE Hybrid premium

[@RetirementGoals1]

@@brianruperti yeah, I meant deleted from just the XLE. Bummer.

[@brianruperti]

@@RetirementGoals1 Big time. I agree

[@susanmeredith4957]

Hey Brian, on my backup camera I don’t have those yellow dynamic lines that move backing up. I saw some Utube videos that say just Turn wheel all the way right & left. But doesn’t work for me.

[@brianruperti]

Hey Susan this means one of two things, either you don’t have that option or you need to press the symbol on your screen (button left) to change the grid lines to dynamic grid lines.

[@susanmeredith4957]

@@brianruperti I have the limited, so think I do have that option. Can you post a pic of what to press on the screen? The dealership I bought it is about 60km away. I do have to go back when my back orders part comes in and get them to look at it. But if it’s something I can do myself and not wait, even better.

Hi Brian Great Car, Great video, Looking at the speedometer it showed 576 miles, I assume this was full charge mile coverage, Regards welshman2081

[@brianruperti]

Thank you! I believe the battery was almost full in that video.

[@welshman2081]

Hi Brian I don't know the answer to that, we have a different system, The Rav 4 goes by grades, sample names, The closest to yours is Dynamic Grade, also Excel Grade, Icon, and Black, I must say the Dynamic plus some accessories look Great. Thanks for your feedback. Regards welshman 2081

Nice! How many miles so far?

[@kirbyrehel1450]

Hi Kevin, how miles per tank of fuel??

[@brianruperti]

@@kirbyrehel1450 depends on the gas mileage but if you calculate 14.5 gallons x 39mpg I get 565 miles. If I account for the reserves and go 12 gallons x 35mpg I get 420 miles. Not a bad gig for AWD and some size.

[@sunnybuns2008]

Thank you

[@welshman2081]

Hi Brian After checking out this Rav4 in the UK. I am told they do not import this car, what a shame.
